Default Re: Anyone consider giving me your thoughts on this?

In 71 there was no longer an SE package available on the Challengers but they offered the small rear window as the "Formal Roof" option.

How much are you crediting him toward your car?

The 340/275 hp small block was a no-cost option instead of the base-engine 383/300 hp big block in the 71 E-body line up.

Realisticly that car would take about $80,000 to restore to a level where it was worth about $45,000. It does not have its original drivetrain, no fender tag, interior is shot, wrong steering wheel, and the body needs some very expensive panels.

I would pass on it.

Steve,

Just want to be sure I understand. The rear window is the same for the 1970 SE option and the 1971 Formal Roof option? Do both offer the overhead console? I don't know about this car, but my friends 71 Hemi does have the overhead console.

I had not given him any sort of figure as to what I was willing to put into it until I had some time to research it, but he thinks the car is worth $6,500.

Thanks to all for your input so far. Any other input would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan
